Sensitive Man

[Verse 1]

Lately, when I go to steal a kiss

I feel you pulling away

I know something is amiss

But what it is, you won't say

If I've done something to upset you

Believe me, that was never my plan

But how can I fix it, standing out here in the cold?

I'm a sensitive man


[Verse 2]

You don't always have to speak

You can say it with a look

Even across a crowded room

I can read it like a book

But other times, when there's something on your mind

Make it as plain as you can

Don't freeze me, baby, I'm no dinky-doo

I'm a sensitive man


[Chorus]

I'm a sensitive man

You can hear that in my song

I'm a sensitive man

Your first impressions could steer you wrong


[Bridge]

Sincerely, my one desire

Is to make you happy again

But I can't begin till you let me back in

I'm a sensitive man


[Chorus]

I'm a sensitive man

You can hear that in my song

I'm a sensitive man

Your first impressions might well steer you wrong


[Outro]

Sensitive man

(Out in the cold)

Trying to do good

(But so misunderstood)

Sensitive man

(Man)
